About Wyatt

Meet Wyatt! This charming one-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix tips the scales at about 9 pounds and sports a beautiful white and cream coat. He can be a bit shy when you first meet him, but with a little patience, his playful puppy side shines through. Wyatt loves to twirl in circles, lightly bop you with his paws, and shower you with kisses, soaking up every ounce of attention he can get. Having come from a home where potty training wasn't emphasized, Wyatt is currently learning the ropes. He's adapting to what everyday dog life entails, as much of the world still feels new to him. We're on the lookout for a loving adopter who understands that Wyoming won’t master everything on day one. You’ll need to guide him through this journey, helping him build confidence and continuing his training. In return, you’ll gain a sweet, goofy companion who craves love, playtime, and someone to call his own. Wyatt is also friendly with both cats and dogs, making him a great addition to a multi-pet household. Are you ready to help Wyatt learn what it means to be a cherished family pet?
